October 13, 201610 yr Im going try to make it simple. Im building another ar 15. In your opinion who makes the best ar 15 upper receiver? Best quality. So far i have a jp barrel 18inch with the matching bolt carrier. I also have a seeking precision lower ( sp223) Now i just want to know who makes the best upper. Im looking for accuracy. Im looking for quality upper only Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
October 13, 201610 yr Asking who makes the "best" anything will always be subjective...that being said...Can't go wrong with a Spikes.
October 13, 201610 yr I'm shooting a GuntecUSA billet upper. F#@king incredible. Paired with a good barrel it's a tack driver. Good or better than a Mega. http://www.guntecusa.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=935&search=upper
October 13, 201610 yr Author What do you guys think of this one to my my seeking lower sp223 ? http://www.spikestactical.com/upper-receiver-billet-upper-gen-ii-mil-spec-barrel-nut-p-1072.html Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
October 13, 201610 yr You could use literally any upper out there from an Anderson so a mega and it really won't make a difference on accuracy this signature exceeds the 15 character capacity count

October 13, 201610 yr Author If u guys had to pick one upper what brand would you choose? And why? What are the 3 best brand out there Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

October 13, 201610 yr If your already spending on quality parts get a billet seekins upper that perfectly matches your lower. I have a seekins billet set up with a high quality barrel, and I cant see any reason to look for some other upper. They were engineered to work together, and fit and finish is excellent.

What are the 3 best brand out there Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk Again you'll get various answers...when i was building my AR its purpose is/was CQ HD...so it needed to be as small as NJ will allow and lightweight...at first was leaning towards a billet lower but then saw the forged spikes was lighter so spikes it was.
October 13, 201610 yr A mil-spec upper is a mil-spec upper. I can't tell the difference between my BCM uppers and my PSA uppers. Spend your money on BCGs, barrels, triggers, etc.

I'm a fan of mega and used a billet side charger set for my 6mmAR.
October 14, 201610 yr Just my personal opinion. And will probably be on my next build. (or one similar) I like to be different. https://gibbzarms.com/product-category/g4-uppers-receivers/
October 14, 201610 yr i think the vltor mur is the best stripped upper on the market. I own billet and forged "mil-spec" from multiple companies and the mur is nicer than all of them.
October 15, 201610 yr A mil-spec upper is a mil-spec upper. I can't tell the difference between my BCM uppers and my PSA uppers. Spend your money on BCGs, barrels, triggers, etc. Did you build both? BCM undersizes their barrel fitment. You have to heat them up to get them to fit right.
October 16, 201610 yr Author Did you build both? BCM undersizes their barrel fitment. You have to heat them up to get them to fit right. Hey how u doing man. Ionly order the barrel and the lower for the 308 , but i stop there for now $$$ lol. But im trying to finish the 223 before. You were totally right about the 308 prices lol.i just wanted to make sure i had the lower before November 8 lol. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
October 18, 201610 yr Did you build both? BCM undersizes their barrel fitment. You have to heat them up to get them to fit right. Yes. Last BCM build I did was w. one of their blemished uppers and their mid-length barrel standard profile. No heating necessary. The upper was a few years old. Is this something new w. BCM? ETA: Just went to their website and saw what you mentioned. But still, I didn't have to heat mine. Maybe because it was older.
October 18, 201610 yr Can't go wrong with Anderson uppers. The sport upper is simple and light, does away with a forward assist and ejection port cover, while also being $40 god damn dollars on AIM surplus with no additional parts needed for assembly. Abner Miranda, an "AR snob", on YouTube, has great reviews on these uppers, but they also make an upper that takes a parts kit. Again, Anderson stuff just works, and mostly beats out other competition in terms of pricing. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
